Hi Mackenzie, I've looked at the logs and nothing has been deleted from the history of that page.
But rather than wade through the history, you might want to go to the archives, they are linked from the top of the page,and they go back to 2007, so they cover two thirds of the life of Wikipeda, and the era when four fifths of all the edits Wikipedai has ever had have taken place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Academics_and_educators/archiveand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Academics_and_educators/archive_2 Regards Jonathan On Sun, 12 Jul 2020 at 01:32, Mackenzie Lemieux <mackenzie.lemi...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions on the topic of > gaining access to deleted articles!
